Kirsty Wark must be traumatized, How did she survive this encounter without counselling
Broadcaster Kirsty Wark, who was a Celebrity MasterChef contestant in 2011, said he told "sexualised" jokes during filming.
Wark, who is best known for hosting BBC Newsnight, told BBC News that on two occasions, during early morning filming, Wallace told stories and jokes of a "sexualised nature" in front of contestants and crew.
She said she feels strongly that the comments were "really, really in the wrong place".
The presenter described her overall experience on the show as "joyous", adding that the team and crew were "fantastic". But she said: "The fly in the ointment, on occasion, was Gregg Wallace."
She added: "I think people were uncomfortable. We were essentially a captive audience. People looked embarrassed and just got on with their work.
"I was actually more angry than anything else, because I thought it was so inappropriate. And in a sense what I thought was it was about power more than anything else, that he felt he could."

As a retired Welshman I looked at Huw Edwards as an Ambassador for Wales. Queens funeral News at 10 extraordinary talent. He had everything and was top of his tree. What a let down and an embarrassment for us Welsh folk, he has ruined his and his family's life. We don't mention him anymore here in the hills.

Why was Gregg's seedy behaviour tolerated, surely someone could have pointed out his poor performance. When this sort of thing comes to light everyone siht's on you. ( I tried for a job at the BBC )
Jo Brand is a funny old thing but I like her on Have I got News for you.

Each to their own, I can't stand the skank.
HIGNFY was fun till 2002 and only some hosts where of the same or even better as before. Since then, I seldomly smiled or even laughed when I zapped by to them.
Seeing lady acid makes my zapping thumb go down (everywhere) on it's own.
BTW, BBC and scandals seems to attract each other like rotating magnets...attract repulse attract repulse attract...and so on.
